Adding an Auxiliary Air Compressor

[Leroy A. Eckert]

Mine is exactly like this one mounted on rubber mounts in the roadside
bay forward of the gray tank. I can hear it when it runs but not much.
It takes less than 10 minutes to air the bus.

airbags needed to be aired up, the compressor would kick on, startling
us awake, then we'd have to wait a few minutes for it to quit. Move
it as far forward as possible. Brad Barton 00LXiDFW bbartonwx@...

> Hi John,I asked about this last fall and generated a lot of
discussion on thetopic. Here's what it boiled down to:The factory air
compressor is made by "Gast". It's 110 volt and Ithink 1/3hp was the
power offered. Someone told me it takes 30 minutesto air his coach up
with that compressor, but a 3/4hp model will do itin 5 to 10. I'd love
to hear confirmation on this from those who haveaux air installed -
how big is your compressor and how long does ittake to air up the
coach?I want to add auxiliary air to my coach and I intend to use a
110 voltGast compressor if/when I get to it. These look to be $500 -
$800 newbut they pop up on eBay occasionally for much less.Problem is
where to mount one. You'll have to put it in one of yourbays, so
you'll be losing storage space. I've not yet decided if andwhere I
want to lose such space, thus the reason I've not taken onthis project
yet.-Ryan'86 PT-40 8V92On Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 8:12 PM, John McGinnis
